Does the park GM @ Kings Island have a say in anything?

Where to get tapwater.

Cedar Fair must be listening to our complaints involving the VIP areas. First Knotts opens a nice indoor lounge and now Kings Dominion is converting their country kitchen into their VIP lounge. Hopefully this is implemented at the other prestige pass parks as well.

By "listening" you mean, people are not renewing their pass. 

Can you bring outside food in to the VIP lounge?

You mean from outside the park - nope.

Anything within the park- yes.

Many times I took a burrito or 3 way into the VIP shack to eat. Occasionally a backpack with a few snacks. Never a big picnic though.

By “games” they VERY likely mean midway, not arcade, as pictured.

Read the article about it on Kings Island web site.   It goes by how many visits you go in May and those perks will be available June 1st.

Gotcha.  I knew I wouldn’t have any available, I was thinking it would show in the app what could be earned.

I think it would be great idea if they made a smaller Moonlight Gardens replica for an indoor VIP area . . without the dance floor .  This could pay a little homage to Coney Island in the process.  I think I remember reading the wrought iron was stored at Kings Island once.  So maybe they thought about doing this at one time??

They would probably give us the dilapidated version 

But with a dance floor, they could provide an upcharge dance event!

Oh crap boys, there is a soda fountain in the VIP shack

Soda fountain not self serve.  Drink plan required.

What a joke

Added more seating but less tables to eat.

No more paper passes for fast pass, scan your actual pass at the GateKeeper

That means no more daily FB posts of people hiding the one time front of the line in the park...

They got rid of bottled drinks because “people were stealing them” but managed to figure out how to have canned beer for sale.

At Kings Dominion and KI ought to be ashamed of themselves for what they call a VIP area. 
 

There’s a whole building here for Prestige Passholders. Indoor and outdoor. Upstairs and down. Seating arrangements with TVs. Tabletop games. Heat lamps overtop each outdoor seating arrangements. 

We get a tent next to a dumpster, and they get this. Wild.

a few photos. Maybe the powers at be at KI will take note.

Very nice!  Looks like they trust their guests to get their own drinks.

They will learn 

I was against getting the Prestige Pass this year and went to get Gold instead, but after seeing the financial savings of parking, front of the line pass, 2 annual BAF tickets, 5% extra saving on merch, and now the beginning of a good pass perks program and some upgrades made to the VIP lounge , I went ahead and upgraded my pass to prestige again. I know many don't agree with the upgrade thinking it is a waste given the VIP areas of other parks, but I do enjoy the small benefit I am afforded by the pass. I had to pay $199 for the upgrade, but in the end I will recoup that amount almost 10x over by using the pass all year long. 

I know many people talk about the BAF seals the deal for them, but you are "paying" for your friend to get in "free" in the price of the pass.  I'd rather see more benefits exclusive to Prestige and let my friends pay their own way in LOL.

Especially since the BAF doesn't get the one time front of line pass this year and since it isn't paper, one can't give it away or hide it like they did last year.  I guess they are hoping the BAF will buy one of the one-time front of the lines to use with their friend....

Do what makes you happy, who cares what others think, it's your $. I got them for the first time this year, mostly because I always paid up for premium parking.
